# Drink Water Alarm

This example demonstrates how to use the [Alarms API](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/alarms) and [Notifications API](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/notifications) to remind users to drink water at set intervals.

## Overview

The extension allows users to set a recurring reminder to stay hydrated. Users can choose from preset intervals (1, 15, or 30 minutes) through a popup interface. When the alarm fires, a notification appears prompting the user to drink water.

## Implementation Notes

The extension uses several Chrome APIs together:

- `chrome.alarms` - Creates and manages the reminder timer
- `chrome.notifications` - Displays the hydration reminder when the alarm fires
- `chrome.storage.sync` - Persists the user's selected interval across sessions
- `chrome.action` - Shows an "ON" badge when an alarm is active

When the notification appears, users can click "Keep it Flowing" to restart the timer with their previously selected interval.
